Really nice, I have my plans ready to cut out, minor changes, I can't leave anything alone. But I'm finishing up a little something brought to us By gpw, Hopefully will have vidio up tonight in a new thread than back to this one. Still trying to decide how and what to make it of.

I got a chance to fly it today. My AUW was about 5 3/4 ounces. It flew really well and considering it was a shocky type model it did tolerate the 10-12mph winds I was flying in. One thing I did notice was that a single 3mm CF rod in the middle of the wing was not enough to keep the wing from flexing. The time I was flying I did a few vertical rolls, an inside loop, outside loop, and a few other things. That was until the battery popped loose mid flight, no damage wich surprised me. So it seems to be a great design, good job EWO.
I might be getting a smaller lipo this evening or I might up it to a little 3 cell.

Yeh I'm still fight with it. One moment I want FF next a super light FP. I think its gonna end up flat plate so I can use my IPS brushless on it and small gear.

Jam . you need to come down here .... Plenty of work and nobody to do it .... Paying top dollar ... $16-20/hr for a helper...plus bonuses for actually showing UP ... I might un-retire myself .............................Na!!!!

EWO , it this one for real ???? not a burner eh ???

ewo · 09:16 PM

Brian, Good to hear yours flew ok.

still havent been able to finish mine. i kinda been under the weather and work is killing me. usually really slow this time of year but all heck has broke loose and were covered up!

I Blew the plans up and printed them out tonight at 115% and i think its gonna be dinamite ..........34 1/4"span . looks like its gonna be a fun size with my stump puller motor on it.
I ordered some 6mm depron and some blue rcfoam from rcfoam.com a little bit ago.
Im anxious to try the there blue stuff.........

Gpw

EWO, if it's the same Blue I got from the guy in Evansville, it's not bad... a little bowed, but useable.

Friend / Co-worker of mine firmly believes that he could start with a hammer and a bicycle and by the end of the year clear $60,000.00.

I've mentioned his thoughts to others around and they all firmly believe it as well.

It's insane. An honest person can have ALL the work he'll want in the next 3 years and get paid VERY top dollar for it. Probably 5-7 years as well.
